The split caps probably had glue in the sides so they wouldn't open to go on the nipples... Single layer pop can caps, they split when fired but 90% fall off the open side when the cylinder rotates, easy to pick off any that are left on a nipple My pistol is the 1860 Colt... A faster way to put in the charges would be nice, something to think about there! I work on a piece of computer paper, if any is spilled on the paper its easy to pour back in the mix. I hold a cap with tweezers and pour in with a small homemade scoop. When filled it goes in the cardboard holders. Tamped and duco/acetone mix added after in the cardboard holders.James It's good that you have tried full strength Duco cement and found that the charge will still go off.Man you would go through a tube fast that way..The split cap lets us know not to go this way..Are you using single layer pop cans? I like your way to sort and hold the caps.. Careful with them all upright.They can cut you. Us home made cap makers used to be thought different .Now we can claim respect. I would like to find a faster way to put the charge into the coups.Any ideas?
